Authors Note: This is a short response to the story, "Thank you Ma'am" that is showing the story through Rodger's eyes.
From Rodger's eyes, Mrs. Jones seemed like a usual old, frail, defenseless woman that she appeared to be. He thought that she was the perfect target to mug on the street. All she was doing was trying to go home. He knew that he was going to have to act fast to get the purse. Little did he realize that the purse weighed a lot more than a regular purse. When he decided to finally steal her purse it seemed to be fool proof. When he made a run for it and fell on his back with the purse he was scared out of his mind. He knew that he wasn't going to get the purse. When Mrs. Jones grabbed Rodger by the shirt, he did what any other criminal would do, act nice. Rodger was also overwhelmed by her strength and didn't know what to do. When Mrs. Jones said that he was going to be her son, that scared him a lot. When she brought him to her house and heard people in the background, he knew he was safe and she wouldn’t kill him. When he saw the door, he didn't run for it because they both trusted each other. When they finished talking, Mrs. Jones forced a valuable lesson into his mind that will help him for many days to come. When Rodger left, he knew that he finally had someone who saw good in him and knew that she will help him with anything that he needs. Rodger also realized that he had gone through a very unexpected transformation, he was a changed man.
